Types of Presentations

A. Presentation of Research 

This session type will include a formal oral presentation of research with an optional accompanying PowerPoint. Your presentation should be between 10 and 15 minutes long to allow for discussion. Keep in mind how you might engage and involve your audience. Essays may fall under the categories for qualitative, quantitative, historical, applied, and/or interdisciplinary research. These essays may include graphs, charts, images, or other infographics to support your research. Texas State provides students with templates for PowerPoint presentations, and they can be downloaded here: https://brand.txst.edu/assets/templates/powerpoint.html

 

B. Rountable Research Presentation and Discussion 

This session involves discussions where the presenters' research will benefit and evolve from discussions held with attendees and other presenters alike. Each table will feature 2 or 3 researchers with related or interconnecting topics. Each presenter will have 10 to 15 minutes for their individual presentation, as this will allow time for meaningful, in-depth discusssions between presenters and attendees. 

C. Poster Presentations

This session type will involve in-depth discussions between presenters and attendees regarding the reserach being presented. We expect presenters to be at the posted site of their presentation for duration of the session to allow for conversation and questions.
